Iah sat down on the fourth seat and watched Mona pour the tea into his cup. Her movements were fluid like as if she had done it thousand times.

”Thanks,” Iah said while taking a sip from the cup.

Mona smiled and sat in her seat.

Isaac and Darth were sitting silently, waiting for Iah to inform them about the next test.

”Mmm…..” Iah gave a satisfying sound as he put the cup back on the table.

Mona turned her gaze towards the two young men, and she asked, ”Do you two have anyone you fancy?”

”Hmm?” Isaac and Darth tilted their heads in confusion.

”She is asking if you two have a girlfriend or a crush,” Iah clarified.

Isaac and Darth both shook their heads simultaneously.

”Come on, there must be someone.” Mona asked with a knowing smile, ”You two seem to be popular with the opposite sex.”

Darth frowned and rubbed his forehead. He has never had a crush on someone before.

Although many girls had confessed to him before, he had rejected them all.

Isaac’s eyes showed his pain for a split second. Suddenly Amanda’s face surfaced in his mind until he forcefully suppressed it.

”Not really,” Isaac replied while sipping tea.

Mona pouted, ”You two are no fun!”

”Apologies, she is very much into romanticism.” Iah sighed, ”It wasn’t easy to woo her.”

Mona elbowed his waist and pursed her lips, ”What is that supposed to mean?”

Iah looked at Isaac and Darth. All three of them sighed and shook their heads.

”It wasn’t easy because you were too popular.” Iah chuckled, ”Half of the guys in the school were aiming for you, furthermore, I wasn’t the most handsome or richest of the lot”

Mona giggled and poked at his cheek, ”That’s right, but I still chose you.”

”Why?” Darth suddenly asked, ”What attracted you to him?”

Iah also looked curious.

Mona mysteriously smiled, ”Universe is a mysterious place. One day, I saw him helping an old lady with her groceries. That made me curious about him, and I decided to start talking with him.”

Iah scratched his head, ”I would be very nervous talking with her. as everyone would glare at me like as if they wanted to murder me in my sleep.”

Mona giggled and then finished her story, ”We became best friends, and gradually I started to develop feelings for him. I confessed to him on the day of graduation.”

Iah nodded and smiled, ”Many tears were shed that day.”

Mona giggled while fondly reminiscing the memories of their time in the College.

Isaac and Darth were deep in thought, but then Iah stood up and said, ”I will show the test now, You two must be in a hurry.”

Waking up from their stupor they nodded quickly and stood up to follow Iah.

”Good luck!” Mona shouted while picking up the teacups. She entered the house while humming with her heavenly voice.

Iah looked at the broken wooden door and sighed, ”I have to fix it… Again.” He shook his head and went through the hole in the wall.

Isaac and Darth followed behind him, and the first thing they saw was a spacious space.

There was a massive forest in the distance with a grassland stretching all the way to the horizon.

Both of them looked shocked.

”How is this possible?” Isaac asked.

Iah raised an eyebrow, ”What?”

”How is the interior so large?” Isaac asked, ”This place should have been less than 40 meters in length, but it easily over 500 meters.”

”Oh.” Iah looked surprised, ”Don’t you guys have a Spatial Manipulation Pearl?”

Isaac and Darth looked confused.

Iah pointed at the starry sky.

They turned their heads towards the sky and was a small pearl floating above the place they were in.

”Every building has its own Spatial Manipulation Pearl, which makes the interior of the building a hundred times larger,” Iah explained.

Isaac’s and Darth’s looked at the scene with their mouths agape.

Strolling towards the forest in the distance, Iah explained ”I decided to make this training space a hundred times larger, while maintaining the original size of the building,”

Isaac and Darth saw the shock in each other’s eyes, before quickly following Iah.

They had thought they became numb to surprise after entering the Moon, but were still being shocked with each and every new thing they discovered.

Soon, they reached the forest, and Iah came to a stop before a place with a large boulder.

The boulder had some weird hieroglyphs, which Isaac and Darth had never seen previously.

”This boulder is the test location,” Iah said, turning around only to see Isaac and Darth’s confused faces.

”This is a boulder which tests your fear,” Iah said in a stoic tone.

”Fear?” Darth pondered, ‘What is my fear?’

Isaac went pale as his body started trembling, ‘Fuck…’

Iah stepped to the side and instructed, ”Touch the boulder, and you will enter a Dream Land. Your goal is to kill your biggest fear.”

Darth nodded and looked at Isaac, ”Should be easy enough, righ—” His words were cut off as he saw Isaac’s pale face.

”You alright?” He asked frowning.

Isaac nodded and waved his head, ”You go first… I will join you soon.”

Darth narrowed his eyes, but he nodded and walked towards the boulder.

Stretching his hand, he touched the cold boulder with the tip of his finger. Instantly his eyes became pure white as he entered the Dream Land.

Iah looked at Isaac and crossed his arms. He narrowed his eyes as he saw Isaac’s pale face.

‘He must know what his biggest fear is…’ Iah grimaced. It is the worst thing if the one who is being tested is aware of his biggest fear.

Isaac clenched his fist as he tried to stop his hand from trembling. He could almost feel his heart almost exploding out of his chest as he remembered the scene.

That whole day was replaying on his mind. His slowly started retreating from the boulder as the sound of laughter echoed in his ear.

But then… A firm hand touched his shoulder.

He turned his head and saw Iah looking at him with a serious look.

”What are you so afraid of?” He asked.

Isaac didn’t answer; instead, he closed his eyes, but that caused the memories to become even clearer.

”Will you betray your friend because you can’t handle a little bit of fear?” Iah’s words resounded in his ears.

Isaac’s slowly opened his eyes, and he saw Darth’s figure in the distance.

”He trusts you to overcome your fear. Also… Subduing your fear is the first step to becoming strong.”

”Strong…” Isaac clenched his fist. He took a deep breath and felt Iah’s hand pushing him towards the boulder.

His body robotically moved towards the boulder, and once he was in front of it… He stretched his hand forward and touched the boulder with his right palm.

His eyes slowly turned pure white as he entered the Dream Land….
